Once upon a time it was our college add. Best place to have brunch on roadside stalls and street food. Also There is an Datt Mandir where every Thrusday they serve sall prasad after Aarti which is very tasty.

This is a small park in Deccan which seems to be quite clean and well maintained. There's an old Indian fighter jet in one section of the park which is interesting to have a look at. The park wasn't especially busy when I visited on a Sunday afternoon in February.

No it is no joke. I really mean tranquil in Mumbai. My most recent visit between Nov & early Dec 2014, with no intention of visiting any tourist spots, I was to spend some time with a dear friend in her apartment in Chenbur Mumbai before we were to travel together to our Ashram in Rikhiapeeth, Jharkhand District. Had I just blanked out prior memories of Mumbai? Refreshingly, Mumbai airport & customs was efficient and smooth with exits through the Duty Free shops amply stocked & pleasing. A freeway with a 15/20 minute drive easily connects the suburb of Chenbur to the City Centre. Available for my 5 day stay in Mumbai still referred to by most locals as Bombay, my friend most fortunately, has a car with ac and a driver, both of which (car & chauffeur) we were to use less frequently and mostly at night.
The choice of transport by locals for a nippy and easy hop on and hop off ride being the auto rickshaws. Great for short distances and frequent hopping on and off in the very busy and congested streets of Mumbai. For the not so long distances the metered taxis mostly fitted with ac, are plentiful and drivers most skilled. Incidentally the Rickshaws are also fitted with meters which are always turned on when you alight.
At night take caution, Rickshaws are fewer and you may find it difficult for a taxi to take you short distances. When they do, you will be charged a premium (as much as double) the price. This is not a tourist rip off as I thought on my first visit to Mumbai, but simply good business economics. Locals too are charged accordingly.
Accidents amongst the myriads of vehicles are a rare occurrence and with this the realization that Indian drivers are indeed very skilled with a heightened sense of awareness. So in the motorized Rickshaw and Taxi, at the hand at the hands of very skilled drivers, afforded me the luxury of simply sitting back and enjoying the rides allowing for the true luxury of simply being the observer engaged in simply witnessing the beauty unfold.
What din, dust and begging? The senses come alive along with the sound of life's daily activities. Drivers of rickshaws taxis, buses, yes and cows, all skilfully dodging each other announcing themselves by hooting. Construction workers engaged in work all around, hammering and drilling add to the sounds which equally as simply fade and form a backdrop for intriguing pleasure and contentment.
With this abandon, on such an ordinary day, we on impulse instructed the taxi driver to take a right up Malabar Hill to the Hanging Gardens. A mere couple of minutes’ drive takes you to a green and tranquil Mumbai. Getting out of the taxi the driver shouted out in Hindi to my friend. I asked her about it and she translated it as “be sure to show her the shoe house"
The Hanging Gardens offers a spectacular and unexpected view of a surreal Mumbai City and Chowpatty beach flanked by a few high-rises below. I whipped out my iPhone and took a multitude of pictures. The giant shoe house, shoe laces and all appealed to me for its history of once being the old playground for my 50 something old friend as a child and still today a delight for many children.
Annexing the Hanging Gardens we naturally drifted into Kamla Nehru Park. On this sunny afternoon the greenery lent welcome shade for a pleasant and leisurely amble around the gardens. I spotted many big birds circling and learnt that the Jain (a religious group) have their burial site at the end of Kamla Gardens; where they leave their dead for vultures & other birds to feed on. So you will spot lots of kites and some vultures.
To absolute delight we encountered "little souls” and how ironic to have them near the burial ground. But that to be told at another time. Butterflies, soul/little soul, a meaning in Russia and ancient Greek so apt. With every little flutter & flit of these awesome flying dainties of the most incredible colours my soul lifted. Coral & white ones, turquoise ones, black & white ones, blue & lilac ones, and so many more in and hovering above coral and yellow Lantana hedges. For the next hour, like children we were mesmerized and like adults with oohs and aahs, took zillions of photographs. It got even better; we pass some well-kept topiary of giraffe, whiffed at age old Frangipani trees and more.
I spotted a few locals having lunch & a few tourists with picnic baskets in joy with themselves and nature on the benches and grassed areas.
All in all a happy 2-3 hour visit. My friend happy for having rediscovered her native Mumbai through the eyes of a tourist and I, for having left the tourist attitude, preconceptions and judgement in South Africa, happy to have discovered a tranquil and beautiful Mumbai above the din and the dust of an ordinary day.
As we were leaving a bus load of Asian tourist entered and I wished for them too to see and discover the loveliness of a tranquil Bombay.

Nothing outstanding about this park. It's place people come for a walk or jog just like any other park anywhere. Not a tourist attraction at all.

Walking and mild recreational activities can be done here. The place has many trees so fresh air can be found here, especially in the early morning. Many tourist visit this place, and is much of an attraction. Near this place are a few decent restaurants, shops, medical stores and many other places that serve as a necessity to everyone.

While I do find the opening hours to be odd, Kamala Nehru Park (KNP) is a very nice place for the kids and I to spend some time. There are several benches right at the playground, so I can enjoy watching them while they play. There are also pathways for walking and I have often time seen study groups meeting there.
